Question
Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value,
and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Transcribed Image Text:Students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or clock, and the times (seconds) are listed below. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Use a
0.01 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute?

Hannafords' management claims the mean wait time for the self-checkout is less than the established mean wait time of 4.7 minutes using the Quick Checkout line. They allowed the sisters to do some data collection, perform a statistical analysis on their results and report back to them about what they found. Management is interested in increasing the number of self-checkout registers if there is evidence that the registers decrease customers wait times. They will not need as many people working register and save in payroll costs. Hannah and Izzy collected data during three 5pm - 5:30pm times on random days. The results from 40 customers had a mean wait time of 4.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.6 minute. Keep this information for use in the next problem.…arrow_forward
